The City of Zeeland conducted the first round of interviews Friday afternoon and they will resume Monday morning at City Hall. The candidate selected will succeed the retired Bill Olney.

The other five finalists are Albion Public Safety Chief Scott Kipp, interim Zeeland Chief Kevin Cisler, Fifth District assistant Commander Patrick Boyd, Meridian Township Captain Greg Fenger, and Easton County Chief Deputy Tim Jungel.

The six finalists were chosen from a list of 37 candidates for the job.
